14 AQUACULTURE ASC AQUACULTURE ASC Feed Standard certification programme now operational by ASC - Aquaculture Stewardship Council Farmer feeding salmon, Chile Ventisqueros. Photographer: Marco Jimenez Last year ASC shared with Aquafeed the news about the launch of the revised Shrimp Standard and the new ASC Chain of Custody (CoC) Module. We also celebrated the first turbot farmer to achieve ASC Flatfish certification and we spoke about the Coastal Habitat Stewardship – an ambitious initiative to protect vital mangrove forests. This time, we highlight the Feed Standard certification programme becoming operational, the launch of the revised Salmon Standard, and the groundbreaking Key Data Elements (KDE) process which allows for digital traceability for shrimp. On the supply and demand sides, the group certification programme has facilitated more than 1,000 small-scale farms to become certified, and we have seen a great increase in Scottish salmon farmers that are seeking certification. Last year also marked the release of ASC’s first Annual Report, “Transforming Aquaculture”. We also published an innovative report that looks at how responsible aquaculture can contribute to the United Nation’s Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a result, ASC was invited speak at the United Nation’s Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) for the Sustainable Development Goals at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA. ASC Feed Standard certification programme now operational ASC’s Feed Standard tackles one of the biggest drivers of environmental and social impacts of aquaculture – the manufacturing of feed and its raw materials. More than 70 percent of aquaculture production (excluding algae) is dependent on feed, and it drives major environmental and social impacts of aquaculture. INTERNATIONAL AQUAFEED DIRECTORY 2023/24
15 AQUACULTURE ASC AQUACULTURE Digital traceability of shrimp through ASC’s Key Data Element project Feed industry operations contribute to the economic backbone of the local communities in which they are located. Therefore, another core requirement for feed mills is adhering to social responsibility. This includes fair treatment and wage of employees, respect of indigenous and tribal people’s rights, and ensuring that no child or forced labour exists. The ASC Feed Standard includes many other social and effective management system requirements, including policies, procedures and processes for topics such as the prevention of corruption, bribery, or falsification of documents. ASC certified feed mills are also required to conduct Due Diligence on their supply chains to assess and mitigate these key social risks. From January this year, feed mills have been able to apply for certification to ASC’s Feed Standard which covers legal, social, and environmental requirements for both the feed mill’s own operations and for the suppliers of ingredients used in their feed production. ASC certified farms have until January 14th, 2025 to switch to ASC compliant feed to continue meeting the ASC Farm Standards. By requiring responsible sourcing for all major feed ingredients, ASC aims to address issues in both the supply chain and at raw material level. Requirements on reporting of performance will also improve assurances by creating unrivalled transparency throughout the entire aquafeed supply chain, as well as rewarding environmental sustainability and assisting future research into responsible feed. Ensuring the feed used by the aquaculture sector is sourced responsibly through the holistic approach set out in the ASC Feed Standard is essential to achieving sustainable aquaculture. Given the increasing importance of farmed seafood within global food systems, this has become ever more crucial as the population of the world increases. To farm seafood responsibly demands that the ‘upstream’ impacts associated with the production of feed ingredients be monitored and reduced, with an imperative focus on social responsibility and environmental improvement. This is exactly the role that the new ASC Feed Standard will play by incentivising these improvements. Certified feed mills must source environmentally responsible marine and terrestrial ingredients. The ASC Feed Standard uses an improvement model for marine ingredients which requires feed mills to source increasingly from responsibly managed fisheries over time. MarinTrust and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), both full members of the ISEAL Alliance, play a crucial role in this mechanism and form the key steppingstones for improvement. The model offers a unique opportunity for feed mills to work together with their fish meal and fish oil suppliers to meet the increasing requirements over time. Ultimately, the majority of volume of marine ingredients needs to be derived from MSC fisheries. For terrestrial plant ingredients such as soy or wheat, feed mills are required to record and report all ingredients that make up over 1% of feed and will need to take steps to ensure they have been responsibly sourced. Similarly, feed mills must also work and commit towards ensuring their supply chains become free from risks of deforestation or land conversion. Moreover, ASC certified feed mills will have to record and report their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and work to improve energy efficiency, use of renewables, and water usage. Key Data Elements project facilities digital traceability for shrimp Digital supply chain traceability of ASC certified shrimp products has become a reality, thanks to ASC’s Key Data Elements (KDE) project. By harnessing the power of technology to improve visibility of each product’s route to market, retailers will have a higher level of programme assurance through increased farm origin and supply chain data transparency. The groundbreaking project has developed software to digitally capture and convey key data from ASC certified farms and feed sources, through processing, packaging, and transport to retailers. As product is moved, the data is transferred digitally along the supply chain, from one company to the next, using a unique code. To achieve this goal, ASC has worked closely with supply chain company partners, stakeholders, and large-scale seafood traceability initiatives such as the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST), to ensure that the project is aligned and has shared objectives and outcomes. The KDE Project is a huge part of ASC’s continuous efforts to increase integrity and assurance for ASC certified and labelled shrimp products as they move through the supply chain.
